Katie crashed hard early tonight! Barely made it past 6PM. She played hard at Laughlin AFB daycare and they were able to go outside in the afternoon for the first time in several days but it was still very hot. Sun must have gotten to her. We scooped her up at 7 and she went right to sleep in bed. Del Rio, Texas, 6:31 PM:

She was being a stinker and refused to smile. Finally got her to laugh. The stamp on her arm is from Laughlin daycare. She gets a stamp if she stays dry until potty-time there. At home in the evening. Del Rio, Texas, 6:53 PM:

Sound asleep. She had an exhausting day: a full day at Laughlin AFB Daycare, then Nora and Jake Windsor came to pick her up. Mom with Nora to a painting class and Dad took Jake and Katie to the base gym where we played in the raquetball court with volleyballs for about a hal hour and then it was to McDonals's for more play and food, then back to The Dwyer House for more play and cartoons until everyone was sleepy about 9:30.

Katie's first day wearing underwear! She has been doing well at Laughlin daycare and did great last night, so we thought we'd let her try them out. Only worked for a few hours but she was sure proud of her Dora underwear. Del Rio, Texas, PM:

Getting distracted during room clean up by her Home Depot car she built. Anything to not clean! Dad and Katie played while Mom had a night out at Chili's, the movies, and the Veranda with the girls. Momentous evening - Katie started getting on the toilet herself and actually using it. She had been just sitting without doing anything. Del Rio, Texas, 7:52 PM:

Saturday turned out to be more about Mother's Day than actual Mother's Day. The day started out at Home Depot Kids Day with Mom, Dad, Nora Windsor, and her buddy Jake Windsor. The kids built flower pot holders. Below, Nora, Jake, Katie, & Dad get started on the building project.

Katie waits patiently for Dad to figure out what the hell he's doing:
Jake and Katie all finished with their flower pot holders.

Asleep after a hard day. This morning she asked, "Where is Grandpa?" Also had a tough time at dinner. This was the first night of having her eat at the table and she was told no cookie and no Dora or Mickey Mouse since she wouldn't eat dinner. She was very mad but mellowed out after reading a few books with Mom and Dad. Del Rio, Texas, 10:01 PM:

One last photo with Grandpa Kuhns. He takes the train back home tomorrow. He has affectionately given Katie the nickname "Jabberbox" and patiently listened to Katie tell the same knock-knock joke over 200 times. "Knock-knock." "Who's there?" "CATERPILLAR!" And then she cracks up laughling. Del Rio, Texas, 9:20 PM:
